Title: Frequency-domain channel-estimation in a DVB-T receiver using complex filtering
Inventor: ZHANG JUNLING
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: Channel estimation and equalization is performed in a receiver of a digital terrestrial television (DVB-T) system. The arrangement involves interpolating a complex signal using a complex filter. The complex signal is interpolated in the frequency domain using a complex filter such that the real and imaginary components of the complex signal are filtered at the same time rather than separately. Specifically, the interpolation may involve interpolating a fast fourier transformed (FFT) orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) signal in the time domain, and interpolating a complex OFDM signal in the frequency domain using the complex filter with a predetermined bandwidth.

Title: Obsolescence mitigation in automatic test equipment
Inventor: SPINNER ROBERT
IPC: G01R31/319
Filed: 2006-01-12
Abstract: A set of governing rules is defined for an electronic test system and a test program set (TPS) for example comprising hardware and software components, is created to enable units to be tested. When a new component is introduced a change that creates a new TPS is detected and it is determined whether it complies with the governing rules. If it complies with the rules units may continue to be tested. If the new TPS does not comply with the governing rules ten it is determined whether any component is rendered obsolete and if not testing of the units is enabled without re-defining the rules. If a component of the TPS is rendered obsolete the rules are reviewed to ascertain the effect of removing the component. A user may be notified if the rules are violated. The rules may define interfaces such as LAN eXtension, for Interface (LXI) and relationships for each component which may comprise a control bus (PCI) interface. It may be further determined whether a new component should be introduced into the system, and this may comprise evaluating advantages, disadvantages and applicability of the component to the system.

Title: Fusion system using generation of a space charge and a high voltage to drive the fusion process
Inventor: GITTINS ROBERT
IPC: G21B1/00
Filed: 2006-12-19
Abstract: An inertial confinement means is provided in which a cylindrical chamber 1 is filled with a deuterium-tritium gas mixture and a tungsten electrode 2,3 is provided at each end of the chamber. At the centre of the chamber is a window allowing X-Rays to ionise the gas in the centre and the application of a high voltage to the electrodes 2,3 results in negative ions and electrons heading for the anode 2 and positive ions heading for the cathode 3. At the cathode 3 a high concentration of positive ions 5 will form a space charge which when subject to a voltage of several hundreds of kilovolts becomes hugely compressed and heated causing nuclear fusion. As fusion takes place, the energy released may be absorbed by a lithium blanket which may drive a conventional steam generation system. The anode 2 may be a flat plate whilst the cathode 3 may be a pin with a hole through the centre through which a fine tungsten wire 4 may be pushed and exposed to the inside of the chamber 1.

Title: A mobile phone that uses its connection to a network to automatically create backup copies of the SIM card
Inventor: VESLUD MARIE LE CARLIER DE
IPC: H04M1/72406
Filed: 2007-07-25
Abstract: Almost all mobile phones Store data on the SIM card, some of this data having been generated by the user. The user involvement means that this data can not be automatically recreated should the device (and thus SIM card) be lost, stolen, or damaged. Whilst some network operators offer a service of creating a backup copy this requires a visit to one of their stores, no network operator uses the wireless connection to create a copy of the data on the SIM card and thus avoid loss of valuable data should the original SIM card become inaccessible through damage, loss or other cause.
